THE NEVADA PARTY.


The train which was first showed
in at Colfax contained John Mack
ay, Dick Dye, Senators Wester-
field, Williams and Poujade, As
semblyman Hanks and Black Wal
lace, News was received that the
line was completely showed in all
through the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and word came from San
Francisco to hold all trains at Col
fax and send the snow plows ahead.
THEY BOARD THE SNOW PLow.
The Nevada party insisted on
gsing with the snow plows but
were met with fat refusal as it
was against orders. John Mackay
telegraphed to San Francisco offer
ing $1,000 for the trip for himself
and party and the word was wired
back from the G.. z. Office for the
engineer to take the party and turn
the 81 900 over to the railroad hotel
at Colfax to be devoted to feeding
the needy passengers showed in
there. Mr.. Mackay and the party
established themselves as a COM
mittee and loon hunted up the
passengers there who were in need
of assistance. They are now all
comfortably housed and with free
grub provided for at least ten days.
AN AFFECTING SCENE.
One poor woman on the train, a
Mrs. Matthews with two children
Bound for Omaha, was waiting fer
the necessaries Of life when the
party went through the train. She
had meyer mentioned her condition
to any of the passengers and her
two children were really suffering
from hunger.
Senators Westerfeld and Williams
gave the woman $50 apiece and
Black Wallace purchased clothes
for the children. Mackay found
three other poor women on the
train and gave them 500 each.
The recipients of the charity cried
like children and the scenes OH the
train are described as very affect
ing.
ON THE SNOW Pillow.
The party left Colfax at 9 o'clock
on Tuesday morning. The snow
pillow contained all of the Nevada
party and was propelled by three
engines. The speed for the first
thirty miles was at the rate of 46

Eggs Fifty Cents a Dozen.

A gentleman who keeps few hens for profit
recently carried some fresh laid eggs to whole
sale dealer at Faneuil Hall Market, Boston, and
received for the same forty-three cents per dozen
The dealer said to him, next week will pay
YOU forty-hve cents, and before Christmas fifty
cents dozen for all you will bring me like
these"
What is true Of Boston is in a measure true
Of every market for eggs. The next eight weeks
will be the season of highest prices Therefore
work your hens now for all they can do. We
have no doubt but that, for want Of the proper
ingredients in their food, more than one half of
the hens in this country are now idle, when eggs
will sell for fifty cents per dozen. 1t is pure folly
to wonder, spend time and money or experiment
to find out why our hens do not lay. You bet
ter by far profit by the experience of others, and
make them lay during December and January.
The following sworn statement shows that, the
quickest and surest way to do this and increase
the egg product during these months from one
to six hundred per cent, is by the Of Sheri-
dams Powder to make hens lay, once daily in
the food. South Waldoboro, Maine.
81 commenced Dec s. 1886, to feed sixty hens

and continued until January 3lst. The first

Tho Canadian Pacific.

Work on the Canadian Pacific railroa
is now drawing to a close, save that
about the bridge and lodges. As there is
much of the latter work to do, force Of
men will be employed through the winter
months, probably twelve hundred, along
the entire line, in cuts. At one place
near MattawamkeaG, one hundred men
and fifty horses will be employed,
the next four months, on one cut alone.
This cut is Of loose slate and stone, and
is to be thirty feet in depth, and one
quarter of mile long. The cost of this
will be over fourteen thousand dollars for
grading alone and is belived to be one of
the most expensive pieces of grading ever
performed in this section of the country
